This bug report will be sent to the Free Software Foundation,
not to your local site managers!
Please write in English if possible, because the Emacs maintainers
usually do not have translators to read other languages for them.
Your bug report will be posted to the emacs-pretest-bug@gnu.org mailing list.
Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug
and the precise symptoms of the bug:
What happens here is that I have version-control set to 5, but the
oldest two backups are never touched, so I really only have 3 useful
backups instead. For instance here are all the backups for my gnus
file mail.misc .
